Act two of the original three is done. It is about 100 pages and 23k words. I'll be merging the first two acts into one and the book will end up being about twice as long as originally projected.

Act 1 of 3 is done. It’s about 100 pages and 23k words and has a prelude, 8 chapters, and an interlude. I’m looking at 100k words as an approximate goal.

Bio
Thrawn: "I have read about the nightswan. Have you?"
Nightswan: "You refer to the fact that it sings only as night is falling?"
Thrawn: "Yes. You do not expect your stand to succeed, do you?"
Nightswan: "I know that it won't succeed."
Thrawn: "That does not necessarily mean the end. I can give orders for you to be taken unharmed."
Nightswan: "They will be ignored. Half the troops here are Batonn Defense and Restos is determined to get rid of me."
Thrawn: "Then come with me now!"
Nightswan: "A man must do what he must, Admiral Thrawn. Even if his stand is against the fall of eternal night."

@SpookySquid Oh, that's cool.
You're not stepping on my toes.
@FallenTrinity Discord? Some sort of text-based chat service?

Aaron stumbled into the lobby of the hospital. The hospital seemed to be on fast forward - everyone was running around trying to attend to everything. And, given the recent attack, it made sense that there would be tens, if not hundreds, of people who needed to be treated. There were hundreds dead after the penguin attack. Or it seemed that way.
Aaron almost made it to the front desk, where there was an overworked tech, typing rapidly and talking on the phone while speaking to someone behind him. Tresler was about to ask where Dread Lock was staying when he collapsed. His arms and legs and portions of his core and torso simply wouldn't work.
Ah… I carried the hammer, so my muscles have to contract again which is never pleasant… then it was advantageous that I came to the hospital, otherwise I'd be in bed for the next few days… there's methods here that'll get me out of here soon… Aaron thought, having realized what was going on.
He lost track of what was happening as he came in and out of consciousness. “Sudden onset muscular atrophy!” One of the nurses called to a doctor as they'd rushed over to the collapsed man. He lost consciousness again as they heaved his small weight onto a stretcher and rolled him away. They toted a crash cart along in case his heart stopped. An all too likely possibility.
Airven watched the holodisplay as the armies proverbially, locked swords and gave no quarter. There was an ebb and flow to the conflict. Both sides viciously fighting for control over the ground; gaining and losing their footing as though they were ripping it from the other’s grip. He noticed that the Separatists had began the process of launching their Lucrehulk control spheres. Tau squadron had already been sent off with Captain Fordo to infiltrate beyond enemy lines and carry out their assignment in assisting Theta and other squadrons with their mission to destroy the droid factories.
“Commander,” Braine saluted and stood expectingly. “Send our forces into the fray. Stop the CIS from launching their control ships and I'll join them shortly. I'm going to report back to the battle group.” As he finished speaking the holo displayed a projection of Jedi Master Halcyon, Airven had been hailed.
“Master Airven,” Nejaa said. “What is the report from the ground?” Captain Seitaron stood nearby and they both awaited Airven’s response.
“Nejaa, your timing is impeccable. I was just about to report back… Yes, there are several commando squadrons on their way to destroy, or assist in destroying, droid factories. We are successfully drawing the enemy's attention away from our infiltration teams.” He took another look back at the holo, several Lucrehulk command spheres were already in the air. “However, the Separatists are launching their control spheres. We are trying to bring them down but with distracting the enemy, gaining ground, and destroying their spheres - this is quickly deteriorating.”
“General! Hailfire tank headed this way!” Braine and several other officers began pressing buttons on consoles as the hub defenses kicked into gear. The defense turrets rotating to lock on and the shields activated as well, the tendrils licking the top of the dome that formed around the hub.
The hailfire had launched its many missiles and Airven didn't wait for a reaction from the defenses or anyone else. He felt the missiles whirling toward the shields. He was in tune with the Force, that's what it meant to be a Jedi Master. No Chaos, only Harmony.
He reached out and the missiles stopped, he knew that there were eighteen of them. He pushed them through his connection to the Force and they all collided with the tank. It exploded with a brilliant light. Airven turned back to the console amid the clapping of his men.

@FallenTrinity Don't feel the need to speed up the process on my account. I'd rather have a well developed plot than a quick fight. I just wanted to know if there will be a filler bad guy in the meantime.
Are we gonna do some sort of time-lapse before we introduce new bad guys? Like an episodic progression?
I posted for Ventus a little while ago - gonna start working on a post for Savant.
